For the exhibition of “Vampire::Mother” at Anat Ebgi, curator Jasmine Wahi guided 15 contemporary artists with a set of evocations—including words, terms, feelings, and quotes—to inspire works that reacted to stereotypes affiliated with women and femmes. The result, in Wahi’s words, is “an ooey-gooey smorgasbord that reflects the gushy messiness of our multiple selves.” Vampire::Mother simultaneously embraces and subverts the binary framework of femininity, presenting works that showcase indefinable and intersectional identities. The installation at Anat Ebgi’s Wilshire Boulevard gallery is flooded with pink light, invoking a girlish and simultaneously eerie atmosphere for visitors as they explore the works on display, most of which were made specifically for this exhibit. A digital and VR replica of the exhibition will run until May 22, exclusively on vortic.art.
